Democrats party chairman and former IDF deputy chief of staff Yair Golan said Tuesday that in the first minute of his government, he would advance laws to bar indicted individuals from serving as ministers, pledging zero indicted officials in his cabinet.
Democrats chairman Yair Golan on Tuesday pledged to advance legislation barring indicted officials from serving as ministers, promising that his government would include 'zero indicted criminals.' The statement, made during a party event, targets the current coalition, which includes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is under indictment on corruption charges.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, Golan has vowed to establish a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre, fight Jewish terrorism, and pursue a two-state vision. The latest pledge is part of his campaign platform ahead of the next election.
Golan, a reserve major general and former IDF deputy chief of staff, has positioned himself as a leading opposition figure. The pledge comes amid ongoing political maneuvering and public debate over the fitness of indicted officials to serve in government.
